vigorous; not a heavy bearer so far as tested here. Season about

Amber. (vul., Zab.) Vine vigorous, and moderately produc-

Amber Queen. This is said to be a seedling of Marion by 
Black Hamburg. It has continuous tendrils which fact indicate — 
either Labrusca or estivalis ancestry. Marion has been con- 
sidered as belonging to the vulpina species (riparia of Mx.) 
which does not have continuous tendrils, neither does vinifera, 
the species to which Black Hamburg belongs. See, also, Annual 
Report of this Station, 1892, pp. 613-614.
